lTo Iall whom 'Lt may'iconcern;

Be it known-that I, EDGAR einen of 'the United states, residing atMarshalltown, in the county of Marshall andv State olI Iowa, haveinvented la new and useful Adjustable 'Trap for Soilf Pipes, of whichthe following is a specification.

' iar manner of adjustablyand advantageoirisly My Objectis to facilitatethe adjustment of two cylindrical parts of a'trap as required `toconnect the trapwith pipes. that extend laterally at various degrees ofangle from the` trap and -my invention consists in thepeculconnectingthe two parts of the trap ashereinafter set forth,pointed out in my claims and lillustrated in thel accompanying drawinsin which igure l is a top-view of the trap andthe dotted linesindicatehow the soil pipes connected therewith may be adjusted relative to eachother andthe location of a bowl in a closet. Fig. 2 is avverticalsectional view of' the trap and shows how the two parts are i fittedtogetherandadju'stably connected.

The letter A designates the lower part of the trag. lt has a closedbottom, open top anda an ge 10 at itsl exterior that'is concaved on itsunder side van'dhas a'continuous groove 1 '2 in its Atop face to admita'packing ring 13.as shown in Fig. 2.

' integral. lateral extension, 14 at its lower portion for'connecting asoil pipefl there'- with to be extended to a bowl in. a closet.

The upperpartB is open at its bottoni and4 'top and has alateralextension 16 to be extended to a sewer.

It has'a ilang`e 17 at its bottom and an annular'enlargement 1.8 on

the'lower side of the lange'litted in the;

groove in the top of the flange so the two par-ts can be rotatedrelative to each other as required to changeA theangle ofthe pipes 14and 16 relative to each other. as indicated. by' dotted lines in. Fig.1.'

Integral enlargements 19 lextend radially I145 from the flange 17 andhave bolt holes and through these holes are extended upwards yscrewbolts 2Q that-have hooks 21 that enter the groove l2 in the ilange 1()of the part A so that by nuts 22 on. the tops of the bolts the two artsA and Bjcan be clamped together rigidly and a water tight joint producedby meansV of' packing ring 13 in the groove 12.

too ofthe part 'B has aninternal screw T. BARKER, a

and 'a top 23 having. an. integral external screw 24 is 'fitted in thetop of the p art B and a packing ring y2,5 is clamped between the twooverl ing parts. The -top 23 also has an ini tegra centralupwardextension for connects ing a ventilating pipe 26 therewith to beextended to the outside of a building in which 'the trap is located.

To adjust .the two parts' A and'B relative to each. other as required toproject the extensions 14 and 16 at Ivarious degreesof angles vrelativeto the trap it is. only necessary L t to relax the nuts 22-on ebolts 2()and then turn one of the parts A and B. The hooks 21 on4 the lower endsof the bolts will slide in the continuous groove in the under side. ofthe flange `10 and'consequently the bolts need not be .withdrawn inmaking adjust.
